I have had an ACL rebuild and a full knee replacement on my other leg. This will not provide full support for athletic activities in my opinion but worked very well as something to use for everyday comfort while walking, driving, etc. For post ACL running (I played lacrosse), I used a brace similar to those used by NFL players.

Yes it would help with stability on relatively level or sloping ground and on level/sloping ground it is extremely helpful. I have not noticed any significant shock absorption. The adjustable height feature is very helpful and works well. I have a bad knee and planned to use it for hiking on uneven/rough terrain. The footpad has proved to be too small to provide me adequate weight support when using it for hiking in rough terrain. It doesn't firmly balance on the tip when its not on a somewhat level surface. I must make sure to be careful where the foot pad is placed before putting my full weight on it. Having 2 of them would improve stability but I need one hand free for grasping and weight bearing.

Hello, I think this is really too heavy to run with. If you put it tight enough, it should stay, but once the velcro ages and wears down, it will not stay due to its weight.

It doesn't have suspension. I haven't run with it, but it is very stable, smooth and I suspect it would be good for running.

I use it while running and find it helps. The product is well made and does not slip or move while running.

Technically it does work, but I find that I sweat so much I can never get a good response while I'm running. Before and after my runs it works just fine. I rely on my EarPods to control the iPhone while I'm running.

I use it for running a few times a week. I personally don't have a problem with it. the weights are pretty easy to take out so you can adjust how much weight your running with. I haven't had an issue yet

LOL, Are you calling me a fatty? No it's unstable and it's impossible to run at a steady pace. It feels like running on ice or down a very steep hill. The only way you can keep a steady pace is if you hang on to the handles but then I feel like i'm getting more of an arm workout rather than a good run.

It all depends. For me, alot of my pain was from running with a heavy pack in the military. Do I have compression issues. That is the main thing you will benefit from. I used it regularly for 3 months and now I can just use it once a week. Seriously amazing

My experience I used for support from a torn ligament to avoid my knee from slipping in and out of place. If you're using for support you will benefit with my experience with muscle and cartilage the body has to repair itself! Hope this helps!

I honestly do believe it'll help... I have arthritis on both knees but only use it on my left knee due to the fact that I've had multiple surgerys on my right knee due to mcl and acl tears and have a custom brace on my right knee but I feel it helps with that so I don't see why it wouldn't help with a pull... I keep active, I've used it for trail running and cross training including powerlifting and it hasn't let me down yet. :) hope this and it helps.

I have only tried it when sprinting and it felt alright. But I don't think there's much impact on the knees from squatting anyway because the muscles that engaged when squatting are around the thighs and calves. I do yoga (In which I don't wear knee support) which uses much strength of legs and I keep my feet active when strength of legs is required so there's not much pressure on the knees. I'd ask your doctor/physician for better suggestions.

Its great for running but use the side straps so it doesnt bounce. It can be hard to breathe when using all 50 lbs.

Hi there...I use it for running and it's an amazing help. So much so that I bought a second one so I can use them on both knees. However, for squats or deadlifts I think they'd be uncomfortable. But again, I just use them for running so I can't ay for sure.

I use the brace to play basketball after my acl replacement. The metal on the sides prevents lateral movement. And the lock prevents hyper extension. Your knee will only bend as it's supposed to. No problem with pushing off and landing. I recommend it.

I have not... but its kind of bulky for running. I think there are better options out there.

I tried mine on two different people and it just can't seem to stay put. I suggest you find one that has a knee insert. Like a hole where you can fit the ball of your knee in.
